Straight from TV Blend's gang of series addicted television addicts.
 published: 2013-05-22American Idol Could Bring In Former Contestants As Judges For Season 13 American Idol needs a game changer. While Mariah Carey and Nicki Minaj generated plenty of buzz during their tension-fueled stint as judges on the Fox singing competition, their presence did little to improve ratings. In fact, the series closed out its twelfth season to its lowest finale numbers yet. Talk of some major changes, which includes a possible full overhaul at the judges table led to the reveal that Randy Jackson was leaving the show.   published: 2013-05-22Emma Roberts Joins American Horror Story: Coven Emma Roberts is no stranger to horror. The 22-year-old actor, who began to make a name for herself with roles in Nancy Drew and Nickelodeon's Unfabulous, played a starring role in Scream 4. With Fox passing on the Delirium pilot, that leaves Roberts available to pursue other TV projects, and it looks like she's found one with a role in the anticipated third season of American Horror Story, subtitled Coven.  published: 2013-05-22Bad Teacher TV Show Gets A Series Order At CBS It looks like CBS has found room on their 2013-2014 line-up for one more comedy. The network has given a series order to Bad Teacher, a small screen adaptation of the 2011 feature film. The TV series will star Ari Graynor as the titular "bad teacher" in the comedy, which comes from Hilary Winston (Happy Endings, Community).  published: 2013-05-22Homeland Guest Star List Offers Plot Clues For Season 3 With the approaching final season of Dexter and the series premiere of Ray Donovan, Showtime's been focused on promoting both shows. Homeland's return may be a bit further down the road, but it's not so far away that we aren't due for some updates on the series and the plans for the approaching third season. Today Showtime confirmed that Joanna Merlin, Nazanin Boniadi, Amy Morton, Gary Wilmes, Tracy Letts, Lawrence Clayton, Pedro Pascal and Sam Underwood are set to guest star on the series.  published: 2013-05-22Fairly Legal's Peter Ocko Making Comedy Pilot For USA If all goes well for USA in the coming years, the cable channel may be as well associated with great original comedies as they are with fun original dramas. That seems to be the plan for USA, as they've recently ordered two comedy series, and they just gave the greenlight to a half-hour comedy pilot from Fairly Legal executive producer Peter Ocko, titled Divide & Conquer. This one may be particularly fitting, given USA's plans to air Modern Family later this year, as Divide & Conquer also happens to have a focus on family.  published: 2013-05-22Futurama Celebrates Final Season Premiere With A Brand New Clip This isn’t the first time Futurama has released some video footage for Season 7B. Several months ago, the network released the first trailer for the series, which highlights satanic rituals and a The Thing spoof. Overall, Fry and the gang look up to plenty of similarly wild shenanigans and hopefully the last few episodes will lesson the cancellation blow.  published: 2013-05-22Billy Crystal Joins The Comedians Pilot At FX Veteran comedian and frequent Academy Awards host Billy Crystal is headed to television, where he has taken on a starring role in a comedy pilot where he will play a…veteran comedian. FX has signed on the funnyman for a new pilot called The Comedians. As the title implies, there will be more than one funny guy headlining the show.  published: 2013-05-22The Americans, New Girl And More Headline Critics' Choice Television Award Nominations The awards ceremony, hosted by Parks and Recreation’s Retta, will be held on June 1, though it wasn’t stated if or where the ceremony would air. You can see a full list of the nominees below. Beyond my ever-present happiness for a Louie nod, I’m really glad Kevin Spacey’s Netflix turn on House of Cards got its due credit, as well as Tatiana Maslany, who has been outstanding in her multiple role duties on BBC America’s Orphan Black. Who are some of your favorites?  published: 2013-05-22Sharon Osbourne Joins The U.K.'s The X Factor Sharon Osbourne has finally made her next career move. Last summer, the veteran judge on America’s Got Talent bowed out of her contract, citing a problem with NBC’s treatment of her son, Jack, on the now-defunct Stars Earn Stripes as the catalyst of her decision. She may have been replaced on the NBC series by a Spice Girl, but she's already moved forward, signing on to judge the U.K.’s popular program The X Factor.  published: 2013-05-22Bonnie & Clyde Miniseries First Look Photos Show Two Armed And Dangerous Outlaws Later this year, A&E, Lifetime and History will air Bonnie & Clyde, the two-night miniseries event that will simulcast on all three networks. In anticipation of that and in acknowledgement of the 79th anniversary of Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow's death on May 23, 1934, they're giving us our first looks at the two lead characters in this story. Take a look at Emile Hirsche and Holliday Grainger as the title characters that make up the legendary 1930s couple, who grabbed the nation's attention with their crime spree.  published: 2013-05-22Once Upon A Time Will Return To Storybrooke In Season 3 Anyone who caught Once Upon A Time’s finale went down a long and twisted rabbit’s hole of plotlines. Season 2’s ender, while satisfying, certainly introduced us to as many new plotlines as it tied up. Luckily, ABC has already confirmed Once Upon a Time will be back for a third season on the network, and recently series co-creator Adam Horowitz spoke out to explain a little bit about what fans can expect from the new season.  published: 2013-05-22Nashville Season Finale Clip Shows Juliette Falling Apart Tonight, ABC will air the season finale of Nashville. The above clip from "I'll Never Get Out Of This World Alive" suggests that Juliette is on the verge of a meltdown. Unless what we're seeing is the worst the fallout for the young artist in the wake of her mother's death. Something tells me that's not the case. The timing couldn't be less perfect for all of this to happen, what with the CMA awards set to take place. |
